Smar Tac Sensing with Gas Cup/Nozzle possible??? [ArcWelding PowerPac]

vishalpatil82

Dear All,
           Following are the details of the Robotic ARC Welding System Products:-

1. ABB IRB1600ID ROBOT WITH IRC-5
CONTROLLER.

2. ESAB WELDING POWER SOURCE Mig 5000i, ESAB Wire
Feeder Aristo 3004W

3. Binzel ABIROB-A500 Welding Gun

4. CO2 GAS 100%

5. Welding Wire CuCr 1.2mm

6.Material Specification:- MS with redoxide coating
, 5mm thick.
     Currently we are using the welding wire for smar tac searching. It is working OK. But, due to the problems in the component, Viz. Non-uniform coating of Redixide on the sensing surface, we are not getting the repeatability in search results.
     For avoiding this we are trying to use the Gas Cup/Nozzle for sensing the component.
For that what changes do we have to do in the existing system hardware???
